First, although it’s a great space to hang in good weather, the yurt’s ventilation struggles to keep up in serious heat. If you plan to use it during summer, you may want to consider taking advantage of its e-port to run a tent air conditioner. Finally, keep in mind that this is a single wall shelter, which means there’s a lot riding on the quality of the tent fabric and seams. Plenty of customers swear by the Ozark Trail Yurt’s ozark trail 4 person dome tent waterproofing, but we recommend treating it with an extra DWR treatment and sealing any missing seams before putting it to work. In terms of drawbacks, this is a particularly budget-friendly model from an already budget-focused brand, so you’ll need to be mindful of a few shortcomings to get the most out of this shelter. First, Ozark Trail uses sealed seams on this tent, but the fabric itself isn’t made for a rainstorm.
The mesh doesn’t exactly feel soft and silky, and I’m pretty sure it’s not no-see-um mesh, though it’ll keep the bigger bugs out. There was quite a bit of this sort of inconsistent mesh in some places, so not very well put together. I found pretty large holes in the stitching of the Ozark Trail 10-Person Cabin Tent, especially where the guylines are stitched to the main tent body.
Both ends of the tent are too low to stand up in but there is no need to stand up there if you place your mattresses on the ends. The tent has a small E Port for power cord access without interfering with the zipper door. This is a picture of the Ozark Trail 10-Person Cabin Tent beside a Coleman 2-Person Sundome Tent and a 32-ounce Nalgene bottle , for a size comparison. I noticed some black spots on my hand when I touched the tent body out of the box.
This is a picture of the rainfly and one of the windows of the Ozark Trail 10-Person Cabin Tent while it was raining lightly outside. Notice that the rainfly doesn’t protect ozark trail 4 person dome tent much of the window mesh from water at all. Apart from the roof though, there’s not a lot of mesh from the 5 windows and the door, because they’re not very big.
So if you do not want to spend much and still have a huge tent for your family for occasional mild weather camping adventures, this is it. The packed size is great and the tent is moderately light, the area organization is very good, it is tall and pleasant. Side view with the fly.The tent is non-freestanding, and it is quite tall, the peak height in the central part is 80 inches .
